Its that time againmoving time! Headaches abound, screaming and frustration ensues. You arent sure if youre going or coming, and if you are, chance is that you wont be for long. You can be organized, clever, and have enough containers to stock Tupperware warehouses, but in most cases, thats the exact opposite of your situation. In most cases, youre surprised you finally make it once you get there.

Which is why hiring a removal company can come in handy. For example, say that youre less than gifted at packing&maybe your Christmas gifts look pre-opened or maybe your containers just refuse to close and youve surrounded them with rolls of tape, praying they didnt bust open during the trip. In most cases, a removal company will pack for you. Now, keep in mind that it will cost you. But it can also be rather beneficial and can help you to keep everything much more organized.

Dont forget the actual moving services. This can help you so much! Especially if you have arthritis or a bad back or are getting up on age or are alone: you shouldnt be moving things in these casesit just isnt safe and you have no business getting hurt.

But where do you choose a removal company? Surely theres a way of picking one?

First of all, ask your friends. If they have any recommendations, keep them in mind. Compile a small list. Then, Google them.

Google may sound a bit tacky, but its actually a quick, easy way to search for reviews. Make sure that you are searching the right company (there are times when you go to check on a company and then discover that its a different company of the same kind) and check the reviews. You should be looking for:

1.Safety. If they arent safe, then you need to discard them. True, one employee might have made a mistake. It does happen. But, if an offense occurs over and over and over again, you need to completely toss that company out the window, so to speak.

2.Reputation. If you see more than ten bad reviews in a row, you need to seriously reconsider that project. Its one of those cases where it goes to showand especially if they have a recurring problem.

3.No thieves. If there are repeated cases where someone mentions workers pocketing items or searching through boxes (without instruction or if they arent packing), then you need to be wary or throw them away. You dont have time to deal with removal companies that will steal your money and your valuables. This sort of falls under reputation, but, at the same time, you have to make sure that you put forth a bit of extra effort to watch out for things like this.

4.Scams. If you see ridiculously low prices or you notice many reviews that mention the company being a scam, avoid them. It doesnt matter if they look like they have the best removal company reviews everthey could be written by the scammers!
